My friend Lecy, who writes at A Simpler Grace, rallied a group of bloggers to share their favorite holiday cookie recipe this season. I love baking for the holidays and Christmas cookies are a must, if you ask me. Today I am sharing a recipe for some traditional Christmas cookies you’ll find in Germany. I…
1.Honeycrip apples. I mentioned Honeycrips when J and I went to Apple Hill last month and they now sell them at Trader Joe’s, so I’ve been on a Honeycrips kick for the last few weeks. 2. It’s the season for me to start drinking (more) tea again and I’ve been loving on Peppermint tea most…
{*} Yes, my friends, believe it or not. It’s almost December. I know, some of you have already put up their tree and Christmas decorations and I’ll be getting on that soon. I’ve been a bit in Christmas preparation mode over the long weekend and that also always means that it is time for my…
J and I stayed put over the holidays and it was a great and relaxing weekend, just the two of us. On Thursday, I had contemplated running the local Turkey Trot but ended up sleeping in a bit and just did a solo 10k Turkey Trot around the neighborhood. I made a big pot of coffee…

It’s time for another round of – old and new – pet peeves, my friends. Sometimes it’s good to release them into the blogosphere because it’s like venting (and it’s good to release some steam and commiserate) and I know that there are other people out there who must feel the same. Tell me I…
I runfess that I contemplated participating my first official Turkey Trot yesterday. We apparently not only have the largest Turkey Trot in Sacramento, but the largest Thanksgiving Day fun run in the country! 29,600+ people registered. Amazing! Maybe I should actually do it next year. I ended up doing a solo Turkey Trot around the…
I’ve been sharing things I am thankful for on Thanksgiving Day for the last few NaBloPoMo-years and this year will be no different. It’s always a good time of year to reflect on the year and remember the things we are thankful for. If you’re not into these kinds of posts, you may skip today….
reminding YOU that you have a little time left to sign up for the Secret Santa Mug Swap 2017. If you want to particiapte, sign up here by the end of tomorrow! watching Friends again on Netflix, I am currently back in Season 1. eating all the soups and stews. I just love this time of…
We only had time for a quick stop in Bryce Canyon this time around, but since we were so close (within a couple of hours’ drive), we wanted to at least stop by and take a quick peek. I know, I know, that is the totally wrong approach to National Park visits. The LAST thing…
